Description:

We are looking for a crime prevention and safety advocate for the Allendale Community League.
This position is a great entry-level opportunity for anyone looking to get involved in the community, meet their neighbours, get creative, and rack up some volunteer experience. No need to have experience in crime prevention and safety! Just be willing to learn.

Possible tasks include (but are not limited to):
-Writing articles for our quarterly newsletter about crime prevention and safety
-Creating occasional social media posts to help our residents be aware of crime prevention
-Coming up with other creative ideas to spread safety awareness and general neighbourliness for our residents

The position typically runs from May to May the following year, but we would like someone to hold the position ASAP until May 2025 (and beyond if you enjoy the position). Applicants are more than welcome to apply to other community league positions, shift to other positions (elections for most positions are in May), or ask for more one-off volunteer opportunities (eg. volunteering at our annual Pancake Breakfast).

Qualifications:

Applicants should be:
-A resident of Allendale neighbourhood
-Willing to commit some extra-curricular time to accomplishing small goals to increase our neighbourhood safety and help residents prevent crime
-Willing to attend monthly board meetings (7pm on the third Wednesday of the month)
-Possibly attend community events in order to advocate for safety and crime prevention
-Competency in writing
-Friendly and able to engage community members and other board members

Training:

Come as you are!
Community League board members are willing to assist as needed and will provide a lay of the land. The communications director will be able to post social media content, the newsletter editor will be able to support the writing of articles, and other board members are willing to assist in any way they are needed.
This position is VERY self-directed and can be as creative and involved as you like.

Benefits:

1. Meet your neighbours and establish community connections.
2. Gain valuable experience that can be carried on to work opportunities.
3. Need references for job opportunities?
4. Volunteer mostly remotely, and attend meetings and events in-person.
5. Help make Allendale a better place to live.
